It’s official.

The Bucs’ offense adopted the fetal position in the second half today and lost. Joe wonders if Team Glazer picked up the red phone at halftime. [read more]

While preparing for today’s game, Tampa Bay coaches preached to players that next season already started and their performance should reflect that.

And this was the result.

Maybe that’s great. Maybe that’s god awful. [read more]

Comment here with fellow fans all game long. Join the fun.

This is it, the moment we all have been waiting for. Just 60 more minutes of losing football and the Bucs have done it.

With one more loss, just one more at the Den of Depression, the Bucs will have won the Chase for Jameis, which will bring respectability, relevance and, of course, winning.

Let’s do it Bucs! Joe knows you have it in you.

Bang it here throughout the game. Joe encourages you to e-mail illegal video streams of the game among yourselves, but pasting a link here will get you run.

Joe is having a hard time spitting out the following words. But the bullet must be bitten to save the franchise. Go, Saints!

(Joe needs to shower now.)

Saints (6-9) at Bucs (2-13)

Kickoff: 1 p.m. [read more]

The moment Josh McCown walked off the Georgia Dome field with a thumb injury, after leading the Bucs to national television disgrace and an 0-3 record, it made no sense for him to return as the Bucs starting quarterback.

That was the time to go all-in with Mike Glennon, and Joe lobbied hard. [read more]

Who’s your defensive coordinator?

The Bucs’ offensive line, collectively, is no less than a garish display of big-bodied types flopping around helplessly like a boated tarpon. Lots of flailing around without production.

Joe used the analogy of right guard Josh Allen doing his best Curly Howard impression last week. Joe never saw an offensive lineman so lit up that he fell backwards swinging his arms in the air like someone falling over backwards in a chair desperately trying to maintain balance. [read more]

After a 3-13 season in 2009, one that at least delivered a strong finish and a talented quarterback prospect, Raheem Morris seemed to be on thin ice.

But Team Glazer went public shortly after the season finale to address the issue. [read more]

Mediocre Charles Sims is one reason the Bucs are on the verge of a franchise low

This Bucs offense, Joe is having problems accurately describing it.

Now many of Joe’s readers always point to the lack of blocking by the screendoor-on-a-submarine offensive line. Joe always thought that was a lazy way of excusing bad production from running backs. [read more]

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. [read more]

Bucs TE Brandon Myers re-ups with the Bucs.

Yesterday, wide receiver Louis Murphy bragged how he had the best Christmas ever after signing a three-year pact to remain with Tampa Bay.

Murphy admitted he and his agent were prepared to shop around until the contract offer came from Bucs general manager Jason Licht. [read more]

Matt Hasselbeck might be a better option than Josh McCown to mentor a Bucs rookie quarterback

What if the Bucs don’t want to pay Josh McCown the $5.25 million due him next season?

There might be a cheaper, better alternative to groom Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota, and be the Bucs’ starting quarterback until the rookie is ready. [read more]

“The camera loves me,” says Gerald McCoy in a new video posted today on Buccaneers.com. [read more]

The Bucs are within striking distance of having their highest sacks total in 10 years, little thanks to this guy.

Yes, the defense is getting better. It won’t remind anyone of the 2002 Bucs, but compared to the seal-clubbing the Bucs were handed by the Dixie Chicks and the Crows, it is night and day.

Sack numbers have crept up. [read more]

You asked for it, you got it. It’s the TV map for tomorrow’s game between the Saints and the Bucs, live from the Den of Depression in Tampa.

If you live in close to the Gulf Coast, you have a decent chance of viewing the Bucs live on your local over-the-air FOX affiliate.

Joe knows many Bucs fans are sick and tired of Band-Aid moves on the offensive line.

Logan Mankins was brought in to heal a preseason wound that wouldn’t scab. [read more]

Danny Lansanah has seen his football career flip since signing with the Bucs last year

When Joe remembers this 2014 season, he wants to lose his breakfast all over the keyboard. Even if the Bucs p!ss away the top overall pick tomorrow, this season has been rotten to the core.

A magnifying glass is required to find something decent. It’s almost irresponsible to suggest anything good came out of 2014. [read more]
